Litigation funding covers some or all the costs of competition claims
Litigation funding covers the costs of Litigation Funding is an essential tool given the high cost and complexity of competition matters and enables companies and particulars to seek compensation for anti-competitive behaviour. Litigation funding covers some or all the costs of competition claims, in exchange for a share of the proceeds, only if the claim is successful.
Competition claims are among the most complex and expensive cases. The legal talent needed is highly specialised, and significant out-of-pocket expenses may be incurred even at very early stages of the litigation. Expert witnesses play a particularly important role given that expert reports should be filed to quantify the damages caused by the different anticompetitive conducts.
